Couple consider divorce to pay for sick daughter's medical costs

A couple are considering getting a divorce in order to pay for their daughter’s medical costs.

Jake and Maria Grey, from Texas in the US, have been married for nine years, but are struggling to afford Brighton’s $20,000-a-year treatment.

The six-year-old has a rare chromosomal disorder called Wolf-Hirschhorn Syndrome and has hearing and vision impairments.
